Chapter 818: Strategic Armageddon (11)
On the "Datong" aircraft carrier, Comrade Liu Dazhu, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy, was holding a telescope and carefully observing the shelling situation.
Seeing a cannonball go down, it is often a large number of little devils flying into the sky, Liu Dazhu saw the joy on his face, and it was so cool to bombard the little devils with a giant cannon.
"Chief! Those few battleships of ours are simply making a big fuss, and with one shot, one infantry squad of the little devils will be gone. ”
Hearing this, Liu Dazhu laughed out loud, and immediately said happily: "Ten more minutes of shelling, and ten minutes later, the 12th Army will begin to land." ”
This time, nearly 10 of the transport ships carried by the 12th Group Army were large transport ships produced by the Tianjin Shipyard, which had a very shallow draft and could smoothly transport a large number of fighters, even tanks and armored vehicles, to the beach.
At present, Tianjin Shipbuilding is working at full speed to produce this kind of large transport ship that the Chinese army urgently needs, and the Chinese Navy is equipped with more and more such transport ships, and the transportation capacity has also been greatly improved.
In addition, in order to transport a large number of troops to carry out beach-grabbing landing operations, the Chinese side has slightly modified some of the transport ships that received the small Japanese Navy into transport ships for the use of troops, which can transport soldiers for ocean-going landing operations.
It is that some large civilian ships in China, even in Japan, have been temporarily requisitioned to transport soldiers and a large amount of weapons and equipment, and many of the soldiers of the 12th Army who landed in the southeast of Yangon this time are on such transport ships.
Ten minutes later.
The shelling stopped. The entire beach was littered with corpses, and it seemed that the thousands of Japanese troops who were ready to stop the fighters in this area had suffered heavy losses.
The fighters of the 12th Army, a large number of transport ships and transport ships, began to approach the beach to prepare for landing, and at least a dozen armed helicopters of the Chinese Navy have also taken off from aircraft carriers or warships to cooperate with the soldiers to land.
The nearly ten new large landing ships took the lead. Be the first to land. As soon as they arrived on the shore, the hatches of the large landing ships were wide open, and the fighters jumped out of these landing ships with their weapons in hand. Rush to the shore.
A dozen helicopter gunships. At this time, it is also hovering at a low altitude. Shoot at the remnants of the little devils on the beach, each helicopter gunship, on which is a large-caliber machine gun. The dense bullets hit the sand and gravel on the beach, and the remnants of the little devils were constantly killed.
"Comrades! Come on!!! ”
The fighters who stepped on the beach, shouting, rushed forward with AK-47 assault rifles, and soon, the sound of dense AK-47 assault rifle fire rang out, and the fighters exchanged fire with the remnants of the little devils.
The remnants of the little devils basically had no power to fight back, and under the blows of the soldiers, they were soon killed and wounded, even the little devil Major General, who could not escape, and was shot in the head by a sniper.
Half an hour later, the little devils on this beach were basically wiped out, and a large number of soldiers stepped on the beach one by one.
Two hours later, the soldiers of the 12th Army had basically landed, and three or four hours later, all the heavy equipment, all the weapons, ammunition, and supplies had also been unloaded.
The soldiers who had landed after landing, led by tanks and armored vehicles, attacked and advanced towards Rangoon, the target of which was Rangoon, the location of the Japanese Supreme Command in Burma.
*********************
When the soldiers of the 12th Army, with the cooperation of the Chinese Navy, landed near Yangon, the five major armies attacking from the north attacked all the way to pull the rotten situation.
On the third day of the large-scale ground offensive launched by the five major armies, many troops had already approached the outskirts of Mandalay, especially a large number of tank regiments and mechanized infantry regiments, which had almost entered the city of Mandalay.
After a few days of fighting, the number of Japanese troops near Mandalay decreased sharply, and more than 200,000 were annihilated by the five major armies, more than 100,000 were captured, and the remaining Japanese troops of about 100,000 retreated to the city of Mandalay or the suburbs of Mandalay.
More than 100,000 Japanese troops were captured, which greatly surprised the soldiers, and the Japanese army resisted resolutely in the first few days, which seemed ambitious, but after three or four days of fighting, with a large number of Japanese troops being annihilated, it was obvious that many Japanese troops were greatly demoralized, and more and more surrendered.
At present, the number of Japanese troops has been sharply reduced from more than 500,000 before the war to 100,000, and the numerical superiority that the Japanese army is proud of has been completely lost in just five or six days.
The result of this strategic decisive battle has been very obvious, the Japanese army has been defeated, and the losses have been heavy, the entire Burma Japanese army has been greatly damaged, and it is basically unable to stop the pace of the Chinese army's attack.
Originally, among the Japanese forces in Southeast Asia, the Burmese Japanese army was the strongest and the largest number, with nearly one million people, but now, the main force of the Burmese Japanese army has been annihilated.
The Japanese army in Southeast Asia, including the Burmese Japanese army, the Japanese army in Thailand, Laos, Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries, and the Burmese Japanese army of nearly one million, is undoubtedly the most powerful, and even the most powerful Burmese Japanese army is vulnerable in the face of the Chinese army.
Just north of Mandalay City.
The vast plains of Mandalay were surrounded by flat terrain, and a large group of chariots was engaged in a battle of fire with the Japanese army.
This is a tank regiment of the 1st Army, a mechanized infantry regiment, and behind this huge tank unit there are at least two or three regiments of infantry.
A Japanese lieutenant general, holding a telescope, stood on the top of a three- or four-story building on the edge of Mandalay's urban area, looked at the fighting between the two sides three or four kilometers away, and saw that the Chinese army was simply overwhelming, and the Japanese lieutenant general was slightly desperate.
The old devil knew that under such a situation, in less than an hour, the Chinese army in the distance would break through his defense line composed of thousands of men and reach the city of Mandalay.
Thinking of this, the little devil lieutenant general put down his binoculars, shook his head helplessly, and thought in his heart, the defeat is decided, even if he resists any longer, it will be in vain.
Distance.
Dozens of tanks, taking the lead, galloped all the way, rushing towards the large Japanese army in front, facing a large group of Japanese light infantry, these thick-skinned tanks, there was no psychological pressure at all, and everyone drove the chariot on a rampage.
Seeing a large number of little devils not far ahead, the little devils were wielding Type 38 rifles or crooked machine guns, and the soldiers were amused for a while, and such weapons also wanted to block everyone's progress.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Quite a few tanks fired at the little devils two or three hundred meters away, aiming at the areas where the little devils were slightly densely populated.
A Type 92 heavy machine gun was shooting at the fighters, and a Type 39 tank was moving, aiming at this machine gun was a cannon, and with a "boom", the machine gun was blown up and fell apart, and the machine gunners and ammunition men of the little devils were all killed.
Some tanks also use the 12.7mm machine gun on the top of the tank to shoot at the little devils not far ahead, and the 12.7mm machine guns are not small in power, and many little devils are killed by one shot.
A little devil captain who was holding a command knife and ordering the little devils to shoot, just finished shouting, suddenly felt a pain in his chest, looked down, and saw a big hole in his chest, this big hole was transparent from front to back, and it looked very terrifying.
Obviously, this was directly penetrated by a 12.7mm machine gun bullet, penetrated from the front chest, pierced through the back, and saw such a big hole, the little devil captain screamed in horror, and then fell to the ground, dying of exhaustion.
The chariots of the warriors were unstoppable, getting closer and closer to the little devils, and soon, like a sharp sword, rushed into the crowd of resisting little devils.
Many little devils were crushed to death by tanks or armored vehicles.
I saw that a Type 39 tank driving at high speed rushed towards three or four little devils more than ten meters away in front.
However, these little devils were still half a beat slower, and they were crushed into meatloaf by this heavy tank, and some little devils next to them, seeing this scene, were so frightened that their hearts trembled, and their faces turned a little pale.
There are definitely more than a few little devils who were crushed to death, many tanks, armored vehicles, and when they saw the little devils at close range, they were too lazy to fire, and rushed over directly to crush these little devils to death.
The battle in the north of Mandalay, led by a large number of chariots and with the cooperation of several infantry regiments, became one-sided, and in less than two hours, the little devils who blocked the soldiers in this area were annihilated by three or four thousand, and more than three thousand were captured.
The soldiers were too brave, especially with so many chariots, these little devils who resisted, seeing that their side was simply being slaughtered, many little devils completely lost the confidence to resist and surrendered one after another.
The battle in the north of the city is like this, and the situation in the east and west of the city is similar, even in the south of the city, a large number of chariots have also begun to appear, and the main force of the 2nd Army has penetrated directly into the south of the city, cutting off the way for the little devils to flee south.
At present, the five major armies have basically arrived around Mandalay City, and are completing the encirclement of Mandalay, the five major armies are either mechanized infantry or motorized infantry, and they are moving quickly, and the little devils have barely reacted, and the south of the city has been gradually controlled by the 2nd Army.
